Private Label in Western Economies

Private label wins ahead as regional market share grows

Private label’s regional market share has grown year on year to 39.4% with growth the strongest in the United Kingdom (UK), Germany, Italy and Spain where it is outperforming national brands. Retailer assortment expansion, development of more innovative, premium products with a fine balance between price and quality provide differentiation in a bid to drive to shopper loyalty.

In the USA, share also increases as purchasing of private label products grows across all income ranges and age groups.
